Hello Everyone,
I have a variable field on a business card template that utilizes the
following rule to format the variable text. The variable field is for
users to enter their Building-Room# information. Regardless of how the
information is entered the rule does exactly what it is suppose to do
and returns the information as (example: E12-345) where the two groups
(building - room#) of information are always separated by an en dash.
Any combination of letter and number characters can exist on either side
of the en dash. A lot of our user enter the building and room info
separated by a period, space, hyphen etc... and this rule has worked out
great to exchange those special characters with the en dash.
The problem that we are experiencing is that when a client enters the
information in one group of digits (can be a combination of
both/either/or letters and numbers) the following text is returned:
{Building_RULE} I understand that the reason that this text is being
returned is because my rule does not account for the situation when only
1 group of digits is entered (example: E12). I now somehow need to
account for this because it appears that we have a lot of users who
order business cards and only like to place their building info without
the room info or vice versa.
I was hoping that someone could help me revise the following rule so
that if the variable text entered falls into the rule's pattern the rule
would process as it is. In the instance when information is entered that
does not fall into the rule's pattern the rule would simply return the
variable information exactly as it was entered. Thanks in advance for
any help!
Rule to edit:
-----------------------------------------------------------
var number01 = Trim(Field("BuildingRoom"));
if (number01 == "")
return "";
var pattern01 = /^(\w+)[^\w]+(\d+)$/;
if (number01.match(pattern01))
formattednumber = number01.replace(pattern01, "$1--$2");
//else Print("no match for " + number01);
return ', Building ' + formattednumber;
